Chapter 1247 Preparing the Head Start

"Oh, sure." Hearing that Valyr wanted the tincture back, Mystia swiftly nodded, having no intention of continuing to keep the tincture for herself. "It's on the rightmost table. You should recognize it once you see it."

"Thanks." Nodding at her words in response, the young man made his way to her tables, eventually finding the Tincture of Heavenly Reconstruction at the place she mentioned.

Storing the tincture into his spatial bracelet after that, he then looked at what Mystia was doing for a bit, prompting a question on the matter to eventually pop up in his mind. "Now that I think about it, what did you do with the tincture, exactly?"

"Used it as a reference," replied Mystia, causing Valyr's eyes to widen in surprise as he immediately understood what she meant by that.

"Wait... are you trying to recreate the Tincture of Heavenly Reconstruction?" asked the young man, prompting the woman to look back at him with a faint smile before tilting her head in slight uncertainty.

"Well... I guess you could say I'm doing that," replied Mystia as she clarified herself. "Though, if you want me to be more specific, I'm trying to create my own set of elixirs based on the various tinctures."

"After all, if you look at it from the perspective of maintaining efficacy, the approach it uses is quite handy."

After saying those words, Mystia then gave Valyr a brief explanation of the rewards she got from Scho'doxa during the tournament, talking about how the man taught her the methods to concoct the elixir in exchange for having lost to him. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Although it would be a piece of cake for me to concoct the Tincture of Greater Reconstruction right now, I face the problem of sourcing the materials needed to concoct it in the first place," said Mystia with a wry smile on her face. "In fact, it's even worse for the Tincture of Heavenly Reconstruction. I'd need to head to five different galaxies just to source out the materials needed to concoct it."

"If the materials were at a planet near Veldanyr, then I might have risked it and made the trip." At those words, Mystia let out a faint sigh. "...But even the Tincture of Greater Reconstruction needs me to travel to the edges of our own galaxy for the materials it needs."

"And thus, I'm trying to adapt the format to create an elixir using local materials," concluded the woman before looking at Valyr with gratitude. "The fact that you allowed me to borrow your tincture for a while definitely helped a lot."

"Honestly thought you'd ask for it the last time you came here, actually," said Mystia. "To be honest, most of the breakthroughs I've achieved so far have all occurred during the past week you weren't here."

"I see." Valyr nodded, mostly glad that Mystia was able to gain a lot from the Rise to Prominence tournament, even though she ended up surrendering to him at the end of the fifth round.

"Well..." Scratching the back of his head at those words, Valyr quickly came up with an excuse. "I was planning to give them to someone, actually."

Seeing her frown at his words in response, it did not take long for him to realize that his words could be easily misinterpreted to mean something else.

With that, the young man forced the gears in his mind to turn on overdrive as he continued to talk. "I'm sure I've already mentioned this to you before, but I've decided to stay in a village for the meantime."

"Of course, the reason behind that choice was due to the Players Scho'doxa mentioned during the tournament."

"While there, I came across a Player that looked to be quite talented in mana control." Saying these words, Valyr made sure not to show his nervousness on the outside. "However, no one took notice of it as many Players were appearing in the village every day."

"No one... except for me."

With that as his basis, Valyr continued to expand on the excuse he came up with, talking about how there wasn't much opportunity for the player's talents to shine due to the fact that the other players were hogging up all of the beasts that existed on the outskirts of the village.

At some point, he even began to believe in his own lie as well, allowing his expression to remain calm by the time he was done expounding.

"...And you're telling me all of this, why?" Then again, even though he was already done explaining, Mystia continued to look at him with a raised eyebrow. "I see no benefit in doing so whatsoever."

"Well, I thought about taking him under my wing," replied Valyr as he scratched his cheek. "I'll support him with the elixirs you'll give me so that his talents could fully shine. I'm sure that, with enough time, he'd become an exemplary mage."

"An exemplary mage that... might possibly become a part of the Mystic Plane in the future? A good idea, no?"

"..." In response to those words, Mystia remained silent before closing her eyes for a bit, pondering over all of the things Valyr told her as she thought about the right decision to make.

In the end, she let out a long sigh as she looked back at him. "...As long as you swear under a mana oath that you'll spare no cost to make sure he becomes a part of the Mystic Plane, then I'll accede to your request."

Hearing those words, Valyr merely smiled.

"Deal."
